A few years ago Universal Records released a few remastered Taste albums. After a demand from fans and friends, John Wilson and Sam Davidson began playing again using the name "ta Taste". They used different bass players including Richie McCracken, the original Taste bassist. The band toured in numerous cities including Moscow and San Francisco, and played new reworkings of old Taste tunes. They introduced the late great Rory Gallagher's music to many people. The band released two CD's in 2006 including the one posted here. Up to 2007 ta Taste with the line-up of drummer, John Wilson, guitarist and vocalist Sam Davidson, and bassist Nicky Scott were still gigging and impressing audiences worldwide. N.B: ta Taste's "Wall to Wall" was reissued in 2009 on the Bad Reputation label using the original Taste band name. Many people will regard these albums as "cashing in" on the old Taste/Rory Gallagher reputation. However ta Taste has played many concerts to very appreciative audiences, and artists like Sam Davidson can really play and know what blues rock is all about. Check out Taste's "On The Boards" album and Rory Gallagher's brilliant "Calling Card" album

Hi, flyra. I agree. There's no resemblance to the old Rory Gallagher/Taste raw pure blues rock, but the album is good. It's refreshing, and the guitar work is GRADE A. Thanks for comment, & keep in touch
